Hayabusa on Asteroid Itokawa

Shinsuke Abe (Kobe University, Japan)

 
Japanese spacecraft 'Hayabusa' had explored the asteroid Itokawa for 3 months since last September. Finally, Hayabusa landed on the surface twice and is now tying to back to the Earth with samples. I will present my works(published in Science and accepted in Nature) in this mission and some exciting stories during the rendezvous.
